Bactericidal studies Various percentages of Aloe Vera gels were tested in

culture media consisting of the following organisms: Staphylococcus aureus,

Streptococcus viridans, Candida albicans, Corynebacterium xerosis, and the

five strains of Streptococcus mutans most commonly found in dental plaque.

The gel was bactericidal against the above bacteria and fungicidal against

Candida albicans (the cause of moniliasis or 'denture sore mouth.') An

important finding by Zimmerman was that the dramatic effects of the aloe gel

were not apparent until there was at least a 70% concentration of the gel.

To achieve a 70% or greater concentration, an Aloe Vera gel must be

stabilized with anti-oxidants in order to minimize the otherwise necessary

preservatives which lessen the percentages of Aloe Vera in the product.
